Faux Pearls Have you been wondering why its been so long between Jabber Blabbers? Getting caught up is difficult once you fall behind, isn’t it? The Puget Sound Bead Festival was nice experience, but the trip did take its toll. Our flight out was cancelled so we arrived a day later than expected. We did not make it home on time either. Believe it or not, Kevin and I slept on a bench in the Phoenix Airport. Now that is an experience never to be forgotten. After all is said and done, we really enjoyed meeting those of you that attended the show. Because of the warm welcome felt out West, we will attend the show next year! The food and weather were wonderful. Besides, the trip next time has to be better than this one. . . . . right?! I would like to send out a special "How the heck are ya?" to my cousin Joey! I have recently found out that that he is a "jb" fan. Who would have known? lol.
